In this update:
Money raised for Donate4Refugees  |  Pre-order issues  |  Join me as I edit Part 9!

Thank you so much again to everyone who pre-ordered last Wednesday thru’ Friday! As promised, I’ve matched the value of your pre-orders by 125% and sent it to the cause of Donate4Refugees:

However, as explained in Saturday’s update, there may be some of you who thought you’d pre-ordered but, in fact, haven’t. A reader called Adam finished his order on a page which triumphantly stated, "Your pre-order of Ripe For Execution is confirmed!" But, alas, he never received an email confirming the fact; nor was payment taken from his account.

So his pre-order doesn’t seem to have reached Inkshares. If anyone else tried in vain to pre-order between Wednesday and Friday, they may have also contributed to the gift to Donate4Refugees – I just can’t know it yet.

Could you be one of those missing pre-orders? Please check your emails to make sure you’ve had a confirmation from Inkshares, and/or check your bank statement to see if payment was taken. If either of these are in the negative, let me know by emailing chip.colquhoun@gmail.com or send a message via Facebook or Twitter. I can then check if your name’s on my reader list and, if not, invite you to try again.

Inkshares haven’t confirmed they’re looking into this yet – but maybe that’s because they’re only just getting into their office and checking their emails in the US...

In other news... Want to know how an author writes and edits a novel in the 21st century? Then join me as I edit Ripe For Execution "write" in front of your very eyes!

Yup! To help me make time to edit the Part 9 you’re all waiting for, I’ve decided to commit to two live broadcasts in which I’ll be editing the novel! Join me on Facebook Live and I’ll reveal the software I use, how I use it, and then start editing the novel right on your screen.

The live edits will take place at the following times:

Wednesday 28th Nov, 2pm–3pm
Thursday 29th Nov, 7:30pm–8:30pm

NB: All times are GMT.

Editing via Facebook Live also means you’ll have the opportunity to provide feedback as I work... $;-)

To make sure you don’t miss out on last-minute reminders, why not follow me on Facebook or Twitter if you haven’t done already?

Cheers folks! And remember – we’re 205 pre-orders away from winning a publishing deal, so please keep nudging your friends and family to help out...!

Ciao for niao...
